Layered lines is a technical research that investigates ways that a designer can intervene in the intermediary stages to embrace the unpredictability of the 3D printing process.
By adjusting parameters of the machine, such as fan speed and extrusion rates, Anika Greyling plays with gravity and cooling rates of recycled plastic, in addition to draping and stacking the material in moulds to manipulate the final outcome. A selection of samples is presented that could be used now as functional objects, with the potential to be scaled up for future application in furniture design or even architecture.
